Disciples Women: Travel to Haiti; make a difference

Excerpt from 2006 "Called, Gifted and Sent"

" ... Haiti has suffered tremendously since independence ..."

The limited education  systems in place for the poor, coupled with inadequate social, economic and political support; make it very difficult for them to achieve upward social mobility. Not surprisingly, women and children bear the brunt of these injustices ... Despite such harsh realities, the strength of Haitian women can be seen everywhere."
